The particular episode I want to highlight today for my Y9 students studying Islam is yesterday's (09/03/15) episode on The end times in Islam. This episode as a whole is beyond the scope of what we might generally hope to study in lessons - but is a great opportunity to dig deeper!
The presenter, Ernie Rea, discusses Islamic beliefs about the end times with eminent scholars such as Ibrahim Mogra, Dr Shurug Nagruib and Dr Rebeca Masterson. They discuss ideas about the end of the world in Islam, the role of Jesus in Islamic Theology, the differences between Shia and Sunni Islam and if the so-called "Islamic State" believe their actions are speeding up the onset of the end times.
If you don't have 30 minutes, the first discussion up until the interview (at 14.09) and then the final sum-up (which starts at 26.19) are well worth a listen to on their own.
